Steve Winterburn, the esteemed master of bronze casting, has unlocked the closely guarded secrets of foundrymen to perfect age-old techniques in mold-making and the manipulation of molten bronze.
Sculpted by a Yorkshire-based artist, the essence of a turtle is capture in ‘Waiting for Spring’. A breathtaking celebration of movement and the grace of marine life, the meticulously detailed turtle is encased within a flawless stainless steel sphere. The turtle, designed to spin within the sphere, brings the sculpture to life, conveying the effortless glide of a turtle through the ocean. The interactive nature of the sculpture invites the viewers to appreciate the dynamic and graceful beauty of the turtle’s journey.
Deeply personal to Steve, who has spent years diving with turtles across the world, the firsthand encounters have allowed the sculptor to convey the essence of the remarkable creatures with an unmatched authenticity. By studying their movements and experiencing their serene presence in their natural habitat, the striking composition captures their elegance with a sense of fluidity and freedom.
This sculpture received an overwhelmingly positive response and was exhibited at Art Miami in 2024. Largely heralded as the most important week for contemporary art in the United States, this event showcases some of the most important works from the 20th and 21st centuries.
A testament to Winterburn’s mastery of bronze as a medium and his passion for wildlife, the sculptor’s ability to merge realism with movement has resulted in a unique creation.
In his own family-run foundry, Steve harnesses the timeless medium, bronze, which he reveres as 'eternal as diamonds'. Each step of the process is executed by hand at the foundry, from mold-making to finishing touches, ensuring the utmost authenticity and quality.
